You are not alone.  I have the same m/b with SC200 and get the following 
when I boot Debian:

Console: 8 point font, 400 scans
Console: colour VGA+ 80x50, 1 virtual console (max 63)

My scsi devices are just the NCR 53c810 controller and the drive.

I am luckier than you in that my system does in fact run, despite the 
warnings.  I would guess that Linux does not know about the Triton II.
